This year we have had two babies join our family already. They both live far away from us so I haven't even met them yet, but I did make them both a Baby Shower blanket to snuggle in as they grow.

These blankets are one of my favourite things to make for babies. I love choosing a special feature fabric and the minkee backing is so soft and cuddly (and super fluffy and messy to cut and sew with!)

This one was made for baby Sebastian. I think the toucans are cool and the bright colours and geometric shapes don't look too "little babyish". And of course, you can't go wrong with Lizzy House's pearl bracelets fabric for borders!

And this one for baby Odette:

I've had this Ikea fabric for years so it was nice to finally put it to use. It is bright and fun and a little bit quirky. Both blankets are backed in soft, snuggly, smooth white minkee which feels lovely against baby's skin.
